The thrill and allure of the Skyrim series is that you get to choose who your character will become. Do you wish to uphold the powers of good? Then use your skills to battle evil. Care to switch it up and fight with the bad guys for a change? The freedom is yours. In a game where every choice you make affects the future outcome of the storyline, it's easy to become lost in this ethereal and transcendent land of lore. With The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Legendary Edition, you have access to the iconic story of the original game, as well as the official Dawnguard, Hearthfire and Dragonborn add-ons for an immersive experience you won't soon forget.The storytelling and adventure of The Elder Scrolls comes to life in one comprehensive experience with this Legendary Edition that places additional weapons, armor, spells and shouts at your disposal. In Dawnguard you have the option of battling the Vampire Lord Harkon as a member of the ancient order to save the sun, or becoming a Vampire Lord yourself. Explore the vast island of Solstheim, off the coast of Morrowind, whose lands are littered with ash wastes and glacial valleys. As you become more powerful with shouts that bend the will of your enemies and even tame dragons, you come closer to facing off against your deadliest adversary — the first Dragonborn. Create a home for your character that reflects your style — from a simple, single-room cottage to a sprawling compound complete with armory, alchemy laboratory and more. Hearthfire lets you purchase land and build from the ground up with tools, such as the drafting table and carpenter's workbench, that transform clay, stone and logs into structures and furnishings. You can even adopt children to bring the light of youth to your hearth. The Elder Scrolls gives you the chance to live another life in another world that has consequences and choices, just like this life on Earth. Except in Skyrim, you get the added perk of battling vampires and dragons to spice things up.

All my friends have been playing Skyrim since it came out, and talking about it all the time. Now I've gotten my own PS3 so I can play Skyrim too. Now I see what all the fuss was about!
I'm normally not a big fan of "sandbox" games. I like my games to be more linear. But thanks to the strategy guide, calls to my friends and looking on Gamefaqs, I can generally figure out where to go next in Skyrim.
I will say that if the game "clicks" with you, it's going to be a MAJOR suck on your time. I'm supposed to be getting ready for National Novel Writing Month and have done NOTHING for it so far. Yet in Skyrim I've killed 4-5 dragons, gotten a house, and adopted a child. Um... Writing is hard, okay?! Sheesh.
If you get this game, try to get a friend into it too. My friends and I have the best phone conversations about Skyrim. One friend called me when she couldn't find her housecarl, and Lydia was somewhere she wasn't supposed to be. I called a friend when I contracted the vampire condition, and when a certain character turned into a freakin' werewolf. It really is more fun if you can share your experience with others.
Don't be afraid to start at the lowest difficulty. That's where I'm at and I'm still having some decent challenges. Master Vampires, I'm looking at you. They quite literally SUCK.
And if you get lost, use your map function. Last night I was lost in a dungeon, and if I hadn't used my map, I swear to God I would still be in there!
Happy gaming! :-)
What's great about it: Fun gameplay
What's not so great: Some of the enemies are kinda tough, loading screens take forever
I would recommend this to a friend!
